The Ukrainian city of Khmelnytskyi was rocked by huge explosion after Russia reportedly sent 21 drones to an army silo causing enormous fireball which injured dozens.

Vladimir Putin appears to be targeting ammunition storages in west Ukraine as Kyiv's counter-offensive approaches.

Overnight on May 12, Russians are said to have attacked Ukraine with Shahed drones.

Four drones hit an army facility causing an explosion which damaged nearby residential properties, as well as other buildings. Another 17 drones were shot down by air defense.

With all the reporters over there it’s surprising that we never saw the damage to Pavlograd on April 30.

That was a big blast when some stored SRBs were detonated.

What did that cost us, about $200M?

Pshaw, Putin is falling down stairs and has drawn up a surrender of the Crimea and Moscow.

Anyone looking at our southern border? I guess it’s all good, it is what it is.

In addition to the 2 helicopters, a Russian SU-34 Fighter jet was also shot down by their own air defence

Do you even have a point?

Biden ain’t doing $hit about our border and he ain’t going to do any more no matter what happens in Ukraine.

I guess you should list every issue you’re unhappy about, and pretend that Ukraine is the cause.

For your interest, Incredible Destruction Seen At Ukrainian Rocket Storage Site That Detonated After Russian Strike (Updated). The Drive.

There is one big crater and damage to surrounding buildings is visible. The site was known to store decommissioned rocket engines and munitions.

There is no point to US involvement in Ukraine/Russia. That’s my point. I don’t keep score but TRY and direct fools BACK to our own border.

“I guess you should list every issue you’re unhappy about, and pretend that Ukraine is the cause.”

Serious? That’s all you got out of my post? Try the propaganda on and on and on.

What are you happy about Mr Williams?

Strange... If $500 million in explosives were detonated, where is the damage to the town? (See also “Texas City” and “Halifax”.) Where is / are the shock waves?

Believe NOTHING of what you hear about this war from any side. NOTHING.

Yes I notice that point is lost on many folks here.

but TRY and direct fools BACK to our own border.

Do you think directing “fools” here will make a difference at the border? I would gather 99.9 percent here are not happy about the border so its a moot point in this forum. On the other hand the Ukraine war has much different opinions here which leads to more shall we say “interesting” threads.

Are those Shahed Russian drones the Iranian-sourced ones? Couldnt those be intercepted before delivery fir use by Russians? Or destroyed in Iran if the West wants to be bolder about it?

For that matter why are WE not supplying similar or superior drones than the Iranian ones to our ally, Ukraine? In large large numbers? It’s not like we couldnt make them and pay good wages to our own people to do so.

Ukrainians are braggarts with big mouths like Zeepers have.

It is a problem for them.

You will know what I mean in 5-4-3-2-and -1.

Incoming commence!
